"Ahem, bro, I can tell from your frame you must be pretty strong. Want to spar?" Xie Huanyue squinted and smiled.
Clearly, among boys, being the boss is always up for grabs. Xie Huanyue was already holding back—after all, as one of the rare Soul Elders among the new students, he was proud and didn't want to submit to anyone.
But Su Wen gave off such a strong sense of pressure that even a glance made Xie Huanyue swallow nervously. He wanted to challenge him to reclaim some dignity.
"Sure~"
Su Wen grinned. He'd been wanting an opportunity.
"Here?"
"Hehe, why not."
The two locked eyes.
Both thought they could easily handle the other, so no need to bother going to the arena.
…
"Boom!!!"
With a thunderous crash—
A shadow smashed through the wall, flying out and embedding itself in the corridor wall like a ball of meat. The force shook the whole building, drawing astonished looks from all around.
"How was that?"
Su Wen stepped onto the shattered wall and slowly walked out of the dorm. The door and much of the wall had been destroyed by Xie Huanyue's impact—there wasn't much privacy left.
"Huff, huff~"
Xie Huanyue clutched his stomach in pain, looking at Su Wen with fear. Just one simple punch… How?! He'd never felt Su Wen release any soul power—where did that terrifying physical strength come from? Just one punch had forced him to use his martial soul to survive—the pressure was overwhelming—a real threat of death!
He could have killed me!
So many monsters in this year's Shrek Academy?!
At the same time, students from the first and third floors, alerted by the noise, crowded to the second-floor corridor. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were among them—they'd been fighting and thought it was an earthquake, but soon realized someone else was fighting on the second floor.
Seeing the chaos, Wang Dong's mouth twitched.
Compared to these two, their own earlier fight was just playing around.
"Isn't Xie Huanyue a Soul Elder? How did he get beaten up so badly—no chance to fight back?"
"Maybe he was careless. But he didn't even use soul skills!"
"Which class is that guy from? Damn, even if Xie Huanyue didn't use soul skills, forcing him to bring out his martial soul is impressive! And I don't think he used soul skills—or even his martial soul!"
"…."
Wang Dong's eyes flashed with surprise.
A Soul Elder before twelve?
Right now, he was only Rank 21—by twelve, he'd be about the same. But who could suppress Xie Huanyue like this?
So many freaks at Shrek…
"…."
"Not convinced!"
After catching his breath, Xie Huanyue suddenly shouted.
He was a genius, a top talent who had fought his way out of tens of thousands. With so many people watching, how could he just admit defeat?!
"Second Soul Skill: Mighty Sweep!"
"Third Soul Skill: Absolute Amplification!"
Yellow and purple soul rings flashed. He was wrapped in a purple glow, body swelling like a balloon, speed surging. Almost no one could react before he crashed toward Su Wen.
…
"Boom—!"
With a violent tremor—
The entire new student dormitory shook. A wall shattered, and a purple shadow streaked out. Broken glass and walls shone in the sunlight, and Su Wen stood at the very edge, almost falling.
Like slow motion, Su Wen vanished. In Xie Huanyue's terrified eyes, Su Wen appeared above him and landed a whip kick to his stomach.
The sound was so sharp it seemed to cause a sonic boom.
"Boom!!!"
As the dust settled—
A pit appeared in the ground, cracks spreading like a spider web. Xie Huanyue lay in the center, a trickle of blood at his lips, staring up at the sky in despair.
"Want to keep going?" Su Wen walked over, smiling, hand outstretched.
"You didn't even use your martial soul?" Xie Huanyue was crushed. He'd used everything, but his opponent hadn't even needed his martial soul—just physical strength?!
Monster!
Absolute monster!
"My martial soul's a bit special." Su Wen smiled.
"I can see that…" Xie Huanyue wiped his mouth, shrank back to his chubby self, and took Su Wen's hand to stand up. "Thanks, man. From now on, you're my big bro—I only listen to you!"
"Let's go eat."
Su Wen waved and walked toward the cafeteria.
Xie Huanyue dusted himself off and hurried after.
Suddenly.
Su Wen paused and looked upstairs.
Almost every window was filled with watching students, who scattered the moment they were seen.
Once the pair left, the whole building erupted in chatter.
…
"Elder Mu."
Du Weilun bowed to the old man on the bench.
"All right, go repair it. Just get it done before school starts. Kids fighting is normal—they've got too much energy. Just remind them to use the arena next time." Mu En spoke without opening his eyes.
"Yes." Du Weilun nodded quickly.
He glanced at the dorm and the pit in the ground from the impact.
His mouth twitched.
Tough kids.
He knew how important Su Wen was to Shrek Academy, so this kind of rule-breaking didn't matter—just a gentle reminder, not even a stern word.
Can't help it—even if the kid isn't all that naughty, if the Soul Tool Department poached him, Yan Shaozhe would kill him.
With a wave—
A construction crew rushed up. Most were soul masters, and though the strongest was only a Soul Ancestor, they were experts at building repairs.
In just an hour, all traces of the damage were gone—the place looked brand new.
After a bow to Elder Mu, Du Weilun led the crew away.
"So strong…"
Wu Feng's red lips parted in shock as she stared outside.
"And that was just his physical strength—he never used any skills!" She'd seen Su Wen use the Ice Jade Scorpion's Ice Domain before—her stomach still hurt thinking about it.
"Yeah…"
Ning Tian leaned on the window, chin in hand, eyes sparkling.
"He's really strong."
Wu Feng: "…."
Her mouth twitched. Looks like the young miss only heard the first part.
